Semyon Varlamov News

Varlamov is coming off his league-leading second shutout of the season and appears to be the starting goalie for the Islanders on Tuesday when they host the Minnesota Wild. Varlamov has been tremendous in his limited action between the pipes this season, even outperforming teammate and perennial Vezina-finalist Ilya Sorokin, posting a league-best 1.00 GAA and .972 SV% through three games (2-1-0). The Islanders will be tested against the Wild and their ninth-ranked offence (3.55 GF / GP) but still rank as -128 home favourites.

Varlamov has been outstanding in limited action this season and will return to the crease for his third start as the Islanders take on the Washington Capitals.
